Black Cross artillery towers followed the path of Variblune. Akira tells Daita to use the bazooka. Daita switches on the Freeze Bazooka. It freezes all of the artillery towers. Daita and Akira are very happy with the success of the bazooka. Tsuyoshi, Peggy, and Kenji are also in Variblune, and they are very happy as well. Witch Mask's plan to freeze Tokyo has failed. However, the Black Cross Army haven't given up and have more plans in the works.

Aka Ranger, Momo Ranger, and Mido Ranger were sent on a mission to stop Wing Mask and to retrieve the Hurricane Diode from Wing Mask as well. Instead Wing Mask grabbed a young girl, Yuki, and took her hostage. The three Gorengers could only watch as Wing Mask made his getaway with Yuki. Later, the three Gorengers came up with another plan. Peggy befriend Yuki and got her off Wing Mask's ship, unfortunately, Wing Mask had spotted them. Peggy tried to fight off the Zolders while trying to keep Yuki safe. Kenji drove up on his Machine and Peggy placed Yuki into the sidecar. Kenji took off on his Machine with Yuki, but soon had problems with Zolders as well. They are stopped by three Zolders on motorcycles. The Zolders rev their engines at Kenji. Kenji takes off in the opposite direction. He doesn't get far when several explosions take place where the Zolders were. Kenji gets off the Machine and stands protectively in front of it and Yuki. The Zolders drive past him. Kenji looks up and sees Variblune. Akira deploys the crane. As the crane is lowered, more Zolders arrive. Some are in a jeep and they fire at Kenji. The crane lowers around the Machine and scoops them up. The Zolders glare up in frustration. Yuki is thrilled to be inside Variblune. Variblune flies away. Later, Mido Ranger and Aka Ranger go into action as Peggy has been captured. They free Peggy and she quickly transforms into Momo Ranger. The three Gorengers soon find out they have been tricked and all three are trapped inside a cell inside a lighthouse. A Zolder runs into the area followed by Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger. The two Gorengers fight the Zolder and defeat it. Mido Ranger, Momo Ranger, and Aka Ranger are very happy to see them. Everyone steps aside as Ki Ranger struggles but lifts the bars off the floor. Momo Ranger, Aka Ranger, and Mido Ranger hurry to get underneath the bars. Ki Ranger lets the bars drop back down as they all run out of the room. The explosion rocks the lighthouse. Seeing the explosion, Wing Mask is ready to start his hurricane plan. Before Wing Mask can do anything a voice yells at them from above. It's Aka Ranger, along with Ki Ranger, Ao Ranger, Mido Ranger, and Momo Ranger. Wing Mask is not happy to see the Gorengers. Wing Mask commands the Zolders to attack. The Gorengers and Zolders fight.

Aka Ranger tells Ao Ranger get the diode with Blue Cherry. Ao Ranger aims Blue Cherry towards Wing Mask. Wing Mask tells him if he shoots that arrow, the girl will die. Behind Wing Mask is a Zolder holding Yuki. Ao Ranger lowers Blue Cherry as the rest of the Gorengers gather around him. Wing Mask tells them the balloons Yuki is holding is filled with explosives. Wing Mask laughs as he turns on the Hurricane Diode. Strong Winds immediately hit the Gorengers. The Gorengers struggle to keep their footing. Aka Ranger notices that Yuki's balloons are not moving. Aka Ranger concludes that Yuki's balloons are the eye of the storm. Aka Ranger activates Birdie. Aka Ranger flies high into the sky. Aka Ranger lands in the eye of the storm. Aka Ranger strikes the Zolder who is holding Yuki with his Red Vute and the Zolder falls to the ground. Yuki accidentally lets go of her balloons. After some distance, the balloons explode. Wing Mask is furious. Aka Ranger wraps Wing Mask in his Red Vute and throws him quite a distance. Wing Mask gets up as Momo Ranger leaps down and removes Hurricane Diode from Wing Mask. Wing Mask tries to strike Momo Ranger but instead finds himself tossed by Momo Ranger. Wing Mask throws his Condor Wing towards Momo Ranger. Mido Ranger stops Condor Wing with his Midomerang. Condor Wing returns to Wing Mask and he uses it to fire at the Gorengers. The Gorengers easily outmaneuver his explosions. The Gorengers prepare to use Gorenger Storm. Momo Ranger turns around and a pink ball appears in her hands. She places it on the ground and kicks it to Ki Ranger. The ball turns yellow and Ki Ranger hits it with his head towards Mido Ranger. The ball turns green and Mido Ranger kicks it over to Ao Ranger. The ball turns blue and Ao Ranger kicks it over to Aka Ranger. The ball turns red and spikey as Aka Ranger leaps into the sky and kicks it over to Wing Mask. Gorenger Storm hits Wing Mask and destroys him. After the battle, Daita, Tsuyoshi, Peggy, Kenji, and Akira are with Yuki. Daita praises Tsuyoshi for realizing that there was no wind where the balloon was. Kenji teases Daita, telling him Tsuyoshi's brain is bigger, unlike you. But Daita is good natured and laughs along with everyone else. Yuki breaks away from the group. Peggy asks what Yuki is doing? Akira replies that Wing Mask gave her the balloon. He was a nice old man to her. Yuki stares at her red balloon. Yuki gently releases the balloon into the sky, saying goodbye to Wing Mask. Yuki cries as she watches the balloon float away. Later, the Gorengers patrol on their Machines. The Gorengers were able to stop Wing Mask's Hurricane Project with the help of the Yuki's red balloon.

Daita is at Snack Shop Gon, enjoying his bowl of curry. Taro is sitting next to him and tells him a riddle. Master grabs the bowl from Daita. Daita wonders why. Master tells him, they're in danger. Deploy. (Aka Ranger and Momo Ranger had rescued Professor Kudo from Boat Ear Mask but they needed help.) Daita quickly stands up. Master informs him that Blue is already in Variblune. Daita quickly leaves Snack Shop Gon. Variblune takes to the skies with Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger. Ki Ranger is still puzzling over the riddle. Variblune continues to fly towards Aka Ranger and Momo Ranger. Aka Ranger spots Variblune and has Momo Ranger move the professor. With Aka Ranger's help, Momo Ranger moves Professor Kudo to higher ground as explosions erupt around them.

Into the Communication Device, Yoko states this is 007 speaking. An emergency alert from 007. Inside the Gorengers Secret Base, Tsuyoshi responds. I'll send them over to Area 203 right away. Ki Ranger and Ao Ranger search Area 203. Ki Ranger finds it all very strange. There is no sign of Silver Heat Mask in this valley. Although this is the last place to search. Unseen above them is a Zolder. Suddenly a net is dropped over Ao Ranger. Ki Ranger calls out a warning but it's too late. Ao Ranger is trapped in the net.

Then the rest head over to Snack Shop Gon. Cook tells Kenji, Tsuyoshi, and Daita that the invasion of Silver Heat Mask has reached into the town. Tokyo is on fire. Kenji wants to leave right away. A tearful Yoko enters with Peggy behind her. Daita tells Peggy, we must go now. Peggy moves Daita aside and walks up to Tsuyoshi and tells him he crossed a line. Do you want Taro to be killed? (Taro has been kidnapped by Silver Heat Mask and to release him, Yoko betrayed the Gorengers.) Tsuyoshi gets up and heads for the door, with his head bowed. He tells them, my sister was killed too...by the Black Cross Army! Yoko is stunned as well as the others. Tsuyoshi walks out. No one says anything. Later, at the Gorengers Secret Base, Daita is rubbing Commander Edogawa's shoulders as he asks, what should we do now? Kenji states, the faster we rescue Taro, the better! Daita responds, we don't even know where to go. Peggy quickly enters. She hands over a letter Yoko left and tells them Yoko is gone. Daita quickly unfolds the letter. The letter states, Dear Gorengers, I don't know how to apologize, especially to Shinmei. I can't bother you guys any more about Taro. I'll make sure to defeat Silver Heat Mask, even if it costs me my life! Tsuyoshi is the first to leave and search for Yoko. He finds her and has her hide. Soon, Aka Ranger is battling once more.
